Perfect Spaghetti Sauce (Crock-Pot)

Mon, 19 Oct 2009 15:08:50 -0400

As a kid, I was pretty picky about spaghetti sauce, and then mom got this one from a friend...SO good! Now that I have kids of my own, they love it and I've been able to improvise on the recipe myself to make it both kid- and adult-friendly! An easy meal that you don't have to think about and will make your house smell delicious! Plenty for freezing,as well, for another day. Hope you enjoy! *Sometimes, I'll replace some of the tomato sauce with crushed tomatoes and add a little more spice and garlic to compensate* **I use hot Italian sausage mixed with ground beef for a little more of a kick** -- posted by Chef #1240616

Tuscan Bruschetta Dip

Mon, 19 Oct 2009 15:54:48 -0400

Very simple and quick to whip up. Serve with Multi-grain tortillas, toasted pitas, or baguette slices. If you can't find ripe tomatoes, you're better off with chopped canned tomatoes - or buy them early and leave them on the windowsill in the sun. -- posted by Katzen

Buttery Crunch-Topped Tomatoes

Mon, 19 Oct 2009 16:00:39 -0400

I found this recipe in one of my cookbooks "Land O Lakes - Treasury of Country Recipes" years ago and finally tried it last night for company. Everyone asked for the recipe before they left. Very Very Good. This is the original recipe, but I added a clove of garlic when I added the onion. -- posted by Scutch

I take 3 pounds of chicken breast and slice into strips to make this version go father. Using more crumbs to coat stretching the meal to serve a touch more. Instead of 5 breasts I have 30-35 strips. Serve on crispy Italian roll or over pasta. Freezes well. -- posted by ~Rita~

Tomatillo Stew

Mon, 26 Oct 2009 17:42:08 -0400

A versatile stew base that can be switched to suit any palate. The tomatillos give this stew base a plenty of citrus flavors, so feel free to leave out the additional lime juice. The roasted poblanos provide a very subtle heat that is not at all overpowering. If more heat is desired, add a couple of chopped chipotles in adobo or 2-3 chopped serrano or jalapeño chiles. Serving Ideas: When the stew has cooked about halfway (step 4), add meat of choice: shredded roast chicken or thinly sliced boneless pork chops would be equally good. In the original version, I used 1 1/2 pounds of pre-cooked beef tongue; the richness of the meat paired quite well with the tart flavors in the stew. For a veggie version, stir in some cubed eggplant or winter squash or whatever protein substitute you like. -- posted by Hungry Hogareno

Ginger & Tomato Chutney

Mon, 26 Oct 2009 17:49:02 -0400

This is a nice little recipe that I happened upon kind of by accident..its a long story...but it tastes great with basic grilled steak and chicken in the summer time. You can even substitute the canned tomatoes with heirlooms if you add a little extra juice. -- posted by Melanie B.

Nana King's Sweet Chili Sauce

Mon, 26 Oct 2009 17:52:48 -0400

Similar to a chili sauce my mom and grandma used to make; we always had it chilled over cream cheese to spread on crakcers. This recipe was adapted from one by a bridge pal, Robert King. He was gracious enough to share it from his southern grandmother's recipe file. The traditional way to enjoy this sauce down south is spooned over black-eyed peas. If you are a tomato gardener and find yourself with an overabundance; substitute 4 quarts of peeled and chopped fresh tomatoes for the canned. -- posted by Hungry Hogareno

Restaurant Salsa

Mon, 26 Oct 2009 18:15:20 -0400

Bring the mexican restaurant to your home with this easy to make salsa. You'll never buy store bought again. You can add more jalapenos(or a habenaro) to make it hotter. I know everybody has their preferences when it comes to salsa, so tweek the recipe as much as you want(fresh garlic, red onion, franks red hot, etc). I would however stick with the recipe first. Taste it after it sits in the fridge for at least 2 hrs for best results. -- posted by bigbrew

Spring Salad With Gorgonzola and Walnuts

Wed, 28 Oct 2009 12:34:02 -0400

I remember making a "Boboli" pizza with pretty tomatoes, Mozzarella, basil, and Garlic with my girlfriend Julie once many - many years ago.

High-Octane Olive Salsa

Salsa

Thu, 05 Nov 2009 02:15:02 -0500

A mild tomato and sweet pepper salsa with cilantro and lime. Easy and fast to make using a food processor, but can be prepared by chopping the vegetables by hand if a food processor is not available. For a thicker salsa squeeze some of the juice out of the peppers and onions after processing and before adding the other ingredients and strain some of the liquid from the canned tomatoes before adding them to the mix. -- posted by Chef #578370

Sauce Vierge

Thu, 05 Nov 2009 02:17:09 -0500

This version is a little on the thin side and is meant to be drizzled over fish or other meat. It can be made with any fresh herb you have on hand and keeps well in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. If you add a little vinegar or more lemon juice it is an excellent vinaigrette for salad. Adapted from Eric Ripert, "Mens Health" magazine. -- posted by Ice Cool Kitty

Marmie's Swiss Like Minute Steak

Thu, 05 Nov 2009 02:23:52 -0500

We love minute steak... our butcher does a really nice job and I always want to try a new way to prepare it, I have done this before but I really liked it today...maybe it was the wine? The wine I put into the sauce... lol Minute steak is really tender off the bat but I am sure that if you simmered round or serlion steak about an hour it would be really tender too. This is especially yummy with mashed potatoes, but nice with rice or pasta too. -- posted by Marmie's

Barbecued Shrimp BLT Sandwich With Lemon Butter Sauce

Sat, 07 Nov 2009 12:39:37 -0500

This is a Wolfgang Puck recipe and it is delicious! I found it again when I was surfing the net - as always, looking for something else, and voila I found it! I had eaten this a long time ago when a friend prepared it for us, my friend left for somewhere in Cuba -- never to be heard of again, more than likely she is very busy trying to build a house for her folks wheeling and dealing, so as to get what she needs -- she doesn't have time to write and then find someone that she trusts to deliver the letter to me! Anyway -- the recipe is truly wonderful! :) Wine pairing: If you're feeling adventurous try a full and oakey Chardonnay from Australia like Rosemount, Petaluma or Lindemans. This dish goes great with a number of the micro brews, such as Anchor Steam, Sierra Nevada or the most popular Samuel Adams. -- posted by Manami

Light Cream of Tomato and Pumpkin Soup

Sat, 07 Nov 2009 12:53:36 -0500

tastes like summer but warms you through in the middle of winter when there's precious little fresh veggies to be had. this is just a general outline. would lend itself well to substitutions like more milk or evaporated milk, spaghetti squash instead of pumpkin, change the spices, add more veggies, even brown rice maybe -- posted by spiritussancto

Beautiful Tomato and Mint Salad

Sat, 07 Nov 2009 13:36:49 -0500

Good enough to serve on its own, with plenty of good bread and decent white wine. Perfection satisfaction and simplicity all rolled into one. You'll never want to use basil again! The only specification is that you use the best fresh tomatoes you can find, preferably on the vine and deep deep red in colour. I prefer to chill the tomatoes to make for easier slicing, then allow the finished dish to come to room temp. Thank you sophie grigson from whom I adapted this recipe. -- posted by robd16

Zanzibari Chutney (Part of Zanzibari Pulao/Pilaf)

Fri, 20 Nov 2009 01:24:03 -0500

Growing up in Dubai there was a tiny restaurant my father would occasionally take us to. They were famous for & only served Zanzibari Pulao along with a cold glass of the drink Tang. After moving out of Dubai the only option I had to still eat the pulao was to come up with something at home. After many trials my mom came up with this chutney recipe. This chutney is part of the Zanzibari Pulao that I have posted. Pakistani Bhagaare Chawal (Stir Fried Rice) or Zanzabari Pulao recipe #282570 Soon I'll post Zanzibari Fried Fish's recipe as well. Already warning people with low tolerance to spices. This chutney is spicy & sour . It can be stored in an air tight jar for 2 weeks in the fridge. -- posted by Bint e Naeem

This is the base sauce I make in large quantity and then freeze. I often add things to the defrosted portions before use, and I also use it in various dishes, like lasagna. I created it myself. spices can be varied to desired taste. I often swap the sage listed here for rosemary. -- posted by Khyricat

The idea for this quick dinner is based on a popular English brunch dish. If you don't have smoked salmon on hand, use a 7-1/2 ounce tin of salmon that has been drained and had the skin and bones removed. -- posted by Irmgard

My son has become a vegetarian, so we have been eating more meatless meals of late. He loves lasagna, but doesn't care too much for the ricotta/cottage cheese additions, so I came up with my own version. The basil paste I use is Gourmet Garden brand, found in the refrigerator section in the produce department.. Cooking time includes 20 minutes standing time. -- posted by Lori Mama
